\ Confederate Veterans Organization.

The Confederate veterans at PENSACOLA
are cndcaVOring to introduce uniformity
among tho Confederate Veteran organi-
cations. To that end it is recommended
"that the Confederate Veterans form
themselves into one grand body, to be
known as Tie Confederate Veterans: {:
that the subdivisions be known as---
Camp of Confederate Veterans, that tho
camps be numbered from ono up; that
the bylaws be uniform; that the meet
ing OF the camps Of State be called n
dlNlAon camp, meeting of less than q
State be called q brigade camp, q meet
ing Of moro than one Stat. to be called
corps camp, and that meeting Of the
entire organization be known as tic
grand camp. Until a grand camp rs
held, to indorsc or alter these suggcs-
tion8, and to elect their officers, it is
suggested that the following officers be
declared selected for the purpose: First,
to organize eud give consecutive num-
bers to all camps. Second, TO secure O
full roster Of all camps in existence.
Third, to call q meeting Of tlc Grand
Camp during next July or September.
The following officers are suggested:
Grand Commander, $. 3. Buckncr, of
Kentucky; AdjutNnt General, VIM. II.
Palmer, Of Virginia; Treasurer, William
Preston johnson, Of Louisiana; Chap,
lain, Rev. j. William Jones, Of Virl mia.
The movement appears TO be n good one
and it IS not improbable that it will meet
with hearty and general response.

"When Growers father moved from
fayetteville, young Cleveland entered
drug store at that place, whore he re-
maincd until 1868 or '54. He boarded
with his employer, and was at that time
one of the most popular young mon in

and accommodating making first class

agreeable companion, though not in

THE FREE DELIVERY.

Superintendent BATES, of the free
delivery service of the Postofice De
partment, says that the cities of the
country are showing great backward
ness in calling for the service to which
they are entitled under the law pass
ed last winter, giving it to towns OF
1000 inhabitants or to towns whose
postoffice receipts reach $1,000 per
year.
"Why," he said, "we get letters
every day from towns entitled to the
service, Indignantly referring to the
fact that we have given it to rival
towns of the same size and neglected
them. They will make no application
for the service and we can send no in
spector to the town except upon ap
plication. Towns will get the free
delivery system when citizens take i.
into their own hands to make an APP,
plication to the department for it.
The above, taken from the Lynch
burg News bears directly upon Win
ston-Salem. The advantages are pa
tent to everybody and the town ii
entitled to it, under the law. Do you
want the free delivers? IF SO, you
can get it by circulating a petition
Let's do so. Who will start it? Vol

A large majority of the Democratic party are
demanding tariff reform. The issue is upon us
and it cannot be avoided.-Richmaond State.
From all parts of our State, from
all over the Union comes up the wall
Of hard times. The farmers are hard
pressed, the merchants feel the fnan-
cial stringency and the manufacture
ers see the hand writing upon the
wall. What is the cause? Money is
scarce, and every setting sun sees
more money carried to the United
States Treasury to be stored up there,
as useless as so much bullion. The
people can't get at it, this is the cause
of "hard times.

ed to the amount locked up in the
Treasury vaults, away from circulat-
ion. Every ounce of coffee you use
pays a tax to the Government.
The SENTINEL would see the tariff
reduced. This, it believes, is the first
step towards the solution of the inan
cial problem. Failing in this, we
next wish to see the Internal Reve
nue. abolished.
With Republican high tariff Sen
ate, the Democratic party Of the last
Congress was defeated in every move
ment towards Tariff reform. In The
extra session of Congress, probably tc
be called early in the autumn, oul
party will introduce a tariff reform
bill. If it is carried, money will b.
easier. If it is lost, the blame vii
rest on the Republican majority il
the Senate, combined with those pseu
do-Democrats, the Randallite protec
tionists. If the bill fails the party
will then attempt the revenue ques
ton. Some RELIEF must come to the
oppressed people, and will come if thu

IT'D

The Interstate Commerce Com
mission has made many errors. 1t is
mush easier to criticise work than to
perform it, but we wish to give one
example of how the law effects Wins

mission tempered with railroad rates,
the Winston Agricultural Works
were shipping their patented machine,

"New," said Mr.. Miller, the manager,
eve are injured in our trade by the
operation of the law. Formerly the
freight on a machine to Catawba
Station, N. c., was fifty cents, now it
is one dollar and seventy-four cents,
and our trade is seriously curtailed on
account of these exorbitant rates. y
This is but one example ofthe detri-
mental effect on our trade, there are
many more. Our tobacco men, too,
are complaining.
OF course the commission has not
yet adjusted everything, and it is in
itself only tentative effort towards
the equalization of rates, but if the
present is sample of the future, il
the manufacturers of North Carolina
are to be paralyzed by inefficient leg
islation, let US return to the old way

fails, if it is rather an instrument Of
oppression-we want none of it.

Wipe it Out.

IF the whole internal revenue tax
and system was wiped out it would be
a blessing to the temperance cause, to
morality, to humanity, and to the op-
pressed people of Western North Car
DINA. Many people are expressing
gushing sympathy for the oppressed
Irishmen of Ireland, but it is very
doubtful if the Irish are oppressed and
ruined by English enactments as
muck as many of the poor white peo-
pie of Western North Carolina are by
the unjust internal revenue law. We
cannot but think that if President
Cleveland, Speaker Carlisle and many
Senators and Representatives knew
how unjust and oppressive the tax on
whiskey and tobacco was to the desti-
tute mountain section they would fav-
or its repeal. Let the whole thing be
free and there will be less of the ruin

Brevity is the soul of wit" When
a man is in earnest he means what he
says, and says what he means in as
few words as possible. There is no
need for fine rhetoric in the statement
of facts. The value of a fact lies in its
practical truth. We can well forego
fine words when facts present them
selves even in the simplest verbal dress
The following is case in point. The
gentleman gives his statement very
briefly, he omits all the narrowing de-
tails of suffering necessarily attendant
upon the disease with which he was
afflicted contagious blood talnt-but
he gets to the vital point in very few
words. He tells precisely what cured
him. The danger in such cases is the

his candid testimony:
